SEATTLE -- The Rams placed star defensive end Robert Quinn and third-down running back Benny Cunningham on injured reserve Thursday, officially ending their seasons hours before taking on the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field.In a corresponding move, offensive lineman David Arkin and defensive lineman Morgan Fox were promoted from the practice squad.Quinn, the No. 14 overall pick in 2011 who racked up 40 sacks and made two trips to the Pro Bowl from 2012 to 14, has been limited to only 15 starts over the last two years. His 2015 campaign ended prematurely after undergoing back surgery.This year, Quinn admitted himself to a local hospital in mid-November after experiencing seizure-like symptoms that he later said was due to dehydration. Quinn went on to start back-to-back games, but missed the last two while in concussion protocol.?The 26-year-old was a full participant in practice Monday and Tuesday, but sat out Wednesdays workout and was listed as doubtful for Thursday nights game.?He finishes the season with four sacks, two pass deflections and two forced fumbles in eight starts.With Quinn out, the likes of Eugene Sims, Ethan Westbrooks and Matt Longacre will get more snaps at defensive end.Cunningham, a free agent at seasons end, missed his second game Sunday with a neck injury that also kept him from practicing this week. The 26-year-old compiled only 192 yards from scrimmage, but averaged 4.8 yards per carry.Cunninghams absence probably means Malcolm Brown will be the one to spell Todd Gurley in the backfield, with Mike Thomas or Pharoh Cooper taking Cunninghams place returning kickoffs.The Rams (4-9) have lost eight of nine games and fired Jeff Fisher as head coach Monday.

Theres the golfing wilderness and then theres where Newcastle battler James Nitties has emerged from to snare the Australian Open halfway lead at Royal Sydney.Ive been everywhere. Its been a pretty rough last three years, Nitties said after producing a spectacular homeward-nine 29 in a seven-under-par 65 on Friday to burst from the pack with the equal-low round.I lost my Web.com card last year, which I was on the for the last five years, the world No.732 said.Spent four years doing mini-tours and qualifiers in America so I suppose you could say Ive been spending a lot of money.So much money the 34-year-old had to sell up in the US, then give up his apartment in Dallas to his girlfriend so he could return home to stay with his mum and play pro-ams to keep his competitive juices flowing.Youve been on the PGA Tour and you competed on the Web, Nitties said of the drive to keep going.My game hasnt really changed much but youre staying in hotels which have cockroaches running around.Its fine when youre a junior and when you just turn pro. Its exciting.As you get older and you experience more, its a real battle.(But) for me its just a way to compete.

Im still in it feeling like Ive been brainless on the greens, Spieth said.Normally (its) a stronghold of mine, so I can take that as confidence because I believe that itll be there once the weekend comes around.
